Since taking the guns to a school and shooting other students doesn't fall within any of the above criteria, I think we can honestly say that the guns were not legally obtained by the shooter, even though his father may have purchased them legally. What that tells me is that I need to change the heading of that column in my spreadsheet from "legally purchased" to "legally obtained."

Change made.

Another newspaper article but this one is the Spokane County Sheriff. He says things many people know but are unwilling or afraid to put out there in fear of disrupting someone's feelings. That is one of the reasons I vote for him when he comes up for re-election.

He can piss off with that blaming video games crap/
"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben
